Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola has stated that Liverpool can still win the EPL.title because they will henceforth be playing without pressure.
Guardiola made this known shortly after his side defeated Leicester City to get back on top of the EPL table with Liverpool right behind.
Speaking, Guardiola revealed that the fact that his side will henceforth be playing under pressure which makes it easy for Liverpool to clinch the title.
“The problem is the way we played,” Guardiola told reporters when asked if recent victories have been mentally draining for his team.
“We won 1-0 in Burnley but we didn’t concede one corner, one shot on target. We controlled the games. We are a much better team than the opponents.
“What we have to do when you play a game is try to be better than the opponents, we were better than the opponents the last two or three months. Win or lose, we will see.
“Sometimes you need a goal like Vinnie today. Sometimes in [off] the post. Sometimes the penalties not given again. Two times in a row no penalty given, so 2-0 for the opponents.
“It was outstanding the way we played in the second half, especially the character and the personality. Knowing how difficult it is to handle the emotions to play. Knowing if you don’t win you cannot be champions.
“At the end Liverpool play right now without pressure because they know it is not in their hands. So it is easy to play in these kind of games.
“We have the pressure because we can’t lose because it is in our own hands. We deserve to be in that position. One more game and we will try it.”
